is a pleasant surprise to me to 

 find that I have, unknown to my- 

 self, been fishing on the banks of 

 the Teme in the footsteps of Sir 

 Humphry Davy, and to my shame be it said, 

 for it is only recently that I have made myself 

 acquainted with that delightful angling book, 

 "Salmonia, or Days of Fly-Fishing, by an 

 Angler."
